Sudeley Castle Book Signing

Sudeley Castle to host book signing

Sudeley Castle is to welcome award winning biographer and historian Linda Porter for a special book signing event. Linda will be talking about her new book ‘Katherine the Queen – The Remarkable Life of Katherine Parr’ at Sudeley on Wednesday 31st March.

The book is a fascinating portrait of Henry VIII’s last Queen, who lived at Sudeley and is entombed in St. Mary’s Church within the grounds.

All that most people know about Katherine Parr, Henry VIII’s sixth wife, is that she ‘survived’. She has often been dismissed as a matronly figure who nursed Henry as his health declined and made little impact in the drama ridden Tudor court. The truth, however, is much more interesting. Linda Porter reveals that she was, in reality, one of the most influential, intriguing and tragic queen consorts in English history.

Linda will then be signing copies of her new book in the exhibitions area from 3pm, copies of the book will be available to purchase at £20 per copy.
